I would say bigger injectors mainly do to the fact 19lbs injector suckass and at the higher speed the injectors cant deliver enough fuel when the tank is near empty compared to a fuller tank....Ive also noticed mine being mainly stock tends to feel more sluggish and slower accel when the tank gets around 1/4 tank...I would say fuel pump PSI but saying how you have the power at a fuller tank. last thing you could do is trial and error with a bigger injector.

Anyway, heres the story.

So lets say my gas gauge is showing between 1/4 tank and half. I have a walbro fuel pump as well. But anyway. Say doing 45 mph, im in second gear. Around 5000 rpm. I floor it, grab third, 4th etc.... well at about 110 mph. The car bogs down real bad and loses its power.


Now if the gas gauge shows me a 1/4 tank or less it will bog a little after 80 mph. Now add 20 bucks in gas (5.5 gallons) shoots me up over 3/4 tank, car will keep its power to 130+mph. Basically over half a tank car runs fine. Under half, depending how much, the earliest it bogs is 80mph.

So whats the deal here? I run 89 octane right now, (mid grade) do I need to shoot up to premium and do a little re tune to compensate for the new fuel? MMGT1 tuned the car, he did an awesome job. Its a strong car. The fuel pump is basically new, like 3 months old or so. Everything is wired correctly. No weird noises from pump, is it just the way the tank and fuel.pump is? The way I see it the tank isnt very big (height wise) so im thinking that at a certain point deoending on how many gallons in the tank, the fuel is being pushed to the back of the tank, and the pump is towards the front of the tank. So is the fuel being dragged to the back and somewhat starving the pump? But once near full or a little under the pump is being basically fully submerged so it doesnt starve it.....

Do I need to think about bigger injectors? Im at a loss really once im under half a tank of gas. Any input would be great.
